Four Year Old Soccer

Since Alex didn't start kindergarten this year (late birthday), we decided to sign him up for soccer so that he would have something to look forward to every week. And boy does he look forward to it! Not all the boys do...some are crying and some are standing around looking slightly confused. But this third child of ours, has been practicing with Zach for a couple of years now, and he was more than ready to prove himself. He takes soccer pretty seriously - when it's time for a water break, he runs to me, gets a quick drink and runs back to the coach to see what he can "help" with. He was literally the only child there for 5 min. while the other boys took a break. It's so fun to see our kids start growing up and explore their talents! Several times during the day yesterday, he would turn to me and say, "Mom, that really was a great game wasn't it!?!?". He's such a sweetie!
